    You can't have analytics without data. To deliver its promised optimizations, improved decisions and profitability, data analytics must be built on a solid foundation of networking and efficient information processing - but it must also have signals, readings, measurements and every other kind of input to process intro useful results.

    To increase tonnage and uptime, and improve nickel ore calcination in its kilns, Groupe Eramet’s Société Le Nickel (SLN) in New Caledonia adopted Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Analytics Pavilion 8 model-predictive control (MPC) software with an intelligence layer that sits on top of automation systems, continuously assesses present and predicted operations, and resets control targets to reduce variability and boost efficiency. Using MPC in its kilns, SLN reduced product temperature errors by 6%, cut temperature profile variability by 16.1%, and improved uptime from 70% to 83%.
